01 / Introduction

Introduction to our cookie approach

Our cookie policy outlines how and why we use cookies on the Cinderand Chance Card Lounge & Dining Club website to ensure your browsing experience is safe, reliable and personalised. From exploring our offline poker lounge, card room details and table games to viewing our dining menus, event portfolio and private packages, cookies help us deliver fast-loading pages and consistent functionality while respecting your privacy choices.

By continuing to browse our site after seeing our cookie notice, you agree that we may place certain cookies on your device in line with this policy. You can adjust or withdraw your consent at any time by updating your browser settings, as outlined below.

02 / Definitions

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (such as your computer, tablet or smartphone) when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device between page loads or on return visits, so core features like navigation, secure forms and preference saving can function correctly.

On the Cinderand Chance website, cookies help us remember technical details about your visit, such as which pages of our poker lounge, card room, dining experiences, events or private table packages you interacted with, so we can improve content layout and reduce friction on your next visit.

03 / Categories

Types of cookies we use

We use a small set of cookie categories designed to support a premium, privacy-respectful experience across our offline poker lounge and fine dining platform:

  • Strictly necessary cookies that keep navigation, reservations and compliance features running securely.
  • Performance and analytics cookies that help us understand how guests discover and move through our card lounge, poker tables, dining and events content.
  • Preference cookies that remember your language, location and interface selections for a smoother return visit.

We do not use cookies for third-party advertising or for promoting any real-money wagering services. Our focus is on hospitality, social poker nights and curated dining experiences only.

04 / Essential Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the operation of our website and cannot be switched off via on-site controls. Without them, the site would not function as intended and you may be unable to access key areas related to our card lounge and dining services.

On the Cinderand Chance platform, these cookies support:

  • Core navigation between sections such as Card Lounge & Dining Services, Event Portfolio and Private Table Packages.
  • Secure reservations and forms for enquiries and booking requests submitted via Reservations & Contact.
  • Compliance modals, including our 18+ age verification pop-up and cookie consent banner, which protect minors and ensure transparent data use.
  • Session management that keeps your connection consistent when exploring card room details, table games and social poker nights.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary to provide the services you request, they are set automatically when you visit our website.

05 / Performance & Analytics

Performance & analytics cookies

Performance and analytics cookies help us measure how guests use our website in an aggregated and anonymous way. The insights they provide guide us as we refine the layout, content and pacing of your journey across our card lounge, poker lounge and fine dining experiences.

These cookies may collect information such as which pages you visit most often, how you reached our site, and if you experience any error messages. This information is combined with data from other visitors so we can see patterns rather than individual behaviour.

We use these insights to:

  • Improve the clarity of information about our offline poker lounge, table games and entertainment chips.
  • Optimise the flow between event portfolio pages and private table package information.
  • Enhance page speed and readability for future social poker nights or fine dining reservations.

Analytics cookies do not give us access to your personal messages, nor do they allow us to identify you directly. Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before setting these cookies.

06 / Preferences

Preference cookies

Preference cookies remember the choices you make so we can present a more tailored experience whenever you return to Cinderand Chance. They are particularly helpful if you frequently review our event portfolio, card room specifications or culinary highlights.

For example, preference cookies may be used to:

  • Store your preferred language and regional settings when viewing our Australian offline poker lounge content.
  • Remember your accessibility settings, such as font size or contrast preferences, for more comfortable reading.
  • Recall which sections of our card lounge, poker tables and dining menus you interacted with, so related articles and FAQs are easier to find.

By keeping track of these preferences, we reduce the number of prompts and settings you need to adjust, allowing you to focus on exploring our social poker nights and fine dining experiences.

07 / Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies

In some cases, we may embed services provided by carefully selected technology partners to enrich your experience, for example when viewing venue videos, interactive maps, or sharing content about our card lounge and dining events.

These partners may set their own cookies when you interact with embedded features, such as:

  • Video players showcasing our offline poker lounge ambiance, card room layout or chef’s table experiences.
  • Map integrations that help you locate the venue and plan your arrival for social poker nights or gala dinners.
  • Sharing buttons that let you send event portfolios or private table packages to colleagues and friends.

We do not permit external advertising networks or unrelated tracking technologies on our site. Any third-party cookies are limited to functionality that directly supports our hospitality, event and dining services. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of these providers if you would like more detail on how they process information.

08 / Duration & Storage

Cookie duration & management

Cookies used on the Cinderand Chance website may be stored on your device for different periods of time:

  • Session cookies are temporary and expire when you close your browser. They help maintain stability as you move between pages describing our card lounge, poker lounge and dining services.
  • Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They remember your preferences and past interactions to simplify future visits.

Regardless of duration, you always retain control. You can remove existing cookies or prevent new ones from being placed by adjusting your browser settings at any time. Please note that blocking certain cookie categories, particularly strictly necessary cookies, may affect how well our site functions.

09 / Controlling Cookies

Controlling your cookies

Most modern browsers let you view, manage, delete or block cookies from specific websites. If you prefer to browse our offline poker lounge and restaurant content with more restrictive settings, you can configure your browser as follows (external support pages may change over time):

  • Google Chrome: Adjust cookie and site data permissions via Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data.
  • Mozilla Firefox: Manage enhanced tracking protection and cookies via Settings > Privacy & Security.

10 / Children & Age Limits

Children’s privacy & cookie use

Our venue and website are intended exclusively for visitors aged 18 years and over. This is reinforced online through our mandatory age verification pop-up, which is supported by strictly necessary cookies that remember your confirmation during a session.

We do not knowingly collect data from minors, nor do we design content or cookie-based experiences aimed at children. If we become aware that information has been collected from someone under 18, we will take reasonable steps to delete it and prevent further access.

If you believe a minor has interacted with our site in a way that may have created unnecessary data, please contact us using the details on our contact page so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

11 / Policy Updates

Updates to this policy

We periodically review this cookie policy to ensure it reflects our current operations, technology stack and compliance obligations in Australia. As our offline poker lounge, card lounge events and fine dining experiences evolve, we may introduce new site features that rely on additional cookie functionality.

When we make material changes, we will update the date of the latest revision and, where appropriate, provide a notice on key pages such as our home, reservations and policy sections. We encourage you to revisit this page regularly to stay informed about how we use cookies to support your visit.
